GungFu:ACunningPlan: GungFu: ACunningPlan: One of the most interesting insights into Tamerlan's personality so far comes from a photo album, titled "Will Box For Passport," that photographer Johannes Hirn took of the slain suspect. Tamerlan was apparently a boxer who hoped to gain citizenship by being selected for the U.S. Olympic team: "Unless his native Chechnya becomes independent, Tamerlan says he would rather compete for the United States than for Russia," Hirn wrote.Other captions paint Tamerlan as a devoted Muslim. "I'm very religious," he says at one point, noting that he does not smoke or drink alchol. "There are no values anymore," he says, worrying that "people can't control themselves."Tamerlan also appears isolated and bewildered by American life. "I don't have a single American friend," he laments, despite living in the United States for five years. "I don't understand them."

Maybe this is why he targeted a sporting event; and maybe being a devout Muslim had nothing to do with this?

Huh?

He wanted to gain US citizenship by being selected for the US Olympic team: maybe that's why he bombed an international sporting event? Radicalized Muslim is a theory, but let's face it - given his background, this bloke's political beef should be with Russia [not the US] - why not hit Russian targets [embassies, Russian emigres homes etc, etc.] within the US.

It was just a thought & perhaps not a smart one:)

Ahh, yeah...you've given it more thought than I have, to be honest. I still don't get the thinking though. I've only considered that it was a large public event and would in likelihood be reported on globally if their plan succeeded. His boxing, sporting background a coincidence.

Still confused as to why they never had some manifesto prepared. I thought some reddit nerd would have found a Youtube posting or something by now.

Kitzenberg said he saw the firefight end when Tamerlan Tsarnaev ran toward the officers and ultimately fell to the ground.

Tamerlan- the man in the black hat from FBI photos released six hours earlier - had an improvised explosive device strapped to his chest, law enforcement officials said.

/Sounds like old party dude Tamerlan was going for the full retard banzai suicide charge at the officers when he got his stupid ass riddled. Good riddance. Obama should throw his ass in the ocean like they did Osama after they killed him. And film it. Would up his job rating.

I guess if any good came of this thread it was the spentmiles wrestling story but I kind of what this farker alive, even if just for a day or two, to see what he might have to say. Looks he is about to be burned down.

Earguy:Just wondering if InfoWarsNew York Post is still going with the cover-up/conspiracy idea, that the FBI suspects are not the real guys, and the two guys they identified via reddit and 4chan are the real guys.

duenor:bostonians, if you have a gun, get it now. Lock all doors and windows, make an armored corner of your safe room and hunker down with your family. Last i heard there was a possible 3rd suspect and he's going to be looking for shelter any way he can get it.

Wait...I though there was no reason for people to own guns any more. I thought the police are here to take care of us and we have nothing to worry about. If the guy comes knocking on anyone's door, they should just tell him "just a minute", and wait till the police get there to take care of them.

Uranus Is Huge!:Most of all, I'd like to thank Fark's resident, right-wing, gun nut, self-persecuted martyrs who are doing their best to derail this thread into a whiny, partisan, gun-rights debate. Way to keep your eye on the ball.

Indeed- the bill to promote it already failed to pass wherever it was supposed to. Fark has a different link about how AnheiserBusch heir stepped away from NRA because of it.

If you're going to whinge about how your rights are being taken away, give up. You won.
